I have matured

I guess I am getting wiser with age after all…a good friend of mine pointed out the difference between being smart and being wise.

I say this because I used to get upset (really more like pissed off) at some of the posts and ideas that didn’t click with me. This is not positive for this great site. It is easy to be blunt and create more reactions when you are sitting behind a monitor….here is a few samples

1. The Rockler Bench Cookies Challenge – I bashed this one- I apologize to Rockler and Martin. The challenge was a good idea and I shouldn’t have critiziced it negatively as a marketing move. 2. Steve’s video on safety is not first- Called him out on a couple of things- Sorry. (He did deserve a couple) hehe- Steve is great I hope he forgives me for that.3. The 101 reasons why I can’t take a class with men- I won’t even mention it anymore4. etc

You guys get the point….Today I decided that I will no longer participate in posts that get my worst side to show its face. From now on I will only talk woodworking and or other positive topics we can share. If a post comes around and it is inflamatory to me I will just let it go.

There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama & the people who create it & surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all life is too short to be anything but happy…

Not sure if this applies but it works for me.
